January 24, 2011Great list, thanks.
Forms tend to be dull dull dull, but are often a very important part of a website
It’s great to see some really interesting attempts to make them far less dull…

January 24, 2011That Bio-Bak one was fun to play around with haha

January 24, 2011Great Collection of forms there. I find forms are usually one of the hardest elements of a website to design – they’re just so limited!

January 24, 2011Nice collection, I love the sketched style forms… Thanks for sharing!

January 24, 2011That Gardener & Marks one, whilst looking nice, is not practical. The placeholder text in the form does not disappear when the input gains focus. Some simple javascript would fix this.

January 25, 2011Im sorry to say that most from those forms are inaccesible, and error handling in few is quite a mess. Alert for an error? Jesus, its sooo ugly. But I have to agree that some of those forms look and work quite well… but not many of these.

January 25, 2011I loved the one from Peixoto, it’s cool to see something a little off sometimes.

January 25, 2011While those examples look nice, most of them were just plain horrible usability-wise. If a designer thinks s/he should sex up forms and create something unique, only pursuing egoistic and artistic ambitions, that designer should be fired instantly. Do forms like these and you’ll most likely end up losing money and/or users.

January 27, 2011I totally agree with you. Usability is much more important than graphic presentation of the form. Personally, my user-experience went down a bit when I tried to navigate through those forms with keyboard.
